Family Ties (Editing/rewriting some parts)

10

The day they were to go to Hogwarts was lazy and relaxed, the boys, Harry and Percy just enjoying some time with their Mother who had been quite busy into getting their Godfather free, knowing that  Sirius had never really known were they were, as James had altered his memory to make sure Dumbledore wouldn't know where they were. They just shouldn't have trusted so much in their friend, Peter.

When it came Togo to Kings Cross, they all became sad, but excited as this would be the first time they really separated for long, and Lily was worried for Percy, even though he had his Portkey around his neck, always around his neck.

Daisy cried so hard she made the floor wet which made Duddy grumble.

"It's alright Daisy, I'll be just fine,I'll miss you too. I'll owl you as well as my Mom to see how your doing." Percy said hugging the small elf to him.

Daisy waled as she hugged Percy back tightly. "Master will be safe, yes?" She cried as she held onto the ready to leave boy. Her Master.

"Yes, of course Daisy, I always am." Percy said, remembering his DA and DADA lessons with Snape, that as well as Potions.

She sniffles before letting Percy go, Marley pulling her daughter to her and calming her.

"Ready to go boys?" Asked Lily as she walked in then, wearing a cream skirt, with a whit tank top and a cream colored cardigan. Her hair up in a fancy bun, and a purse, she would be shopping with Narcissa after their children left after all. Lily also had no make up, as she needed none, and found it useless most the time.

"Yup." Harry said as he grabbed his trunk which miniaturized and he pocketed it, same goes for Percy.

Lily smiled, and ushered them to the taxi just outside. The man who would be driving them, looking at the mansion in awe. Well, castle.

They soon made it to the station and were early, as most should be, their mother went through a wall with ease, not even getting a glance from anyone. Harry and Percy looked at each other, both holding their pets in one hand, both in cages. They only got some glances though. Percy wondered what they saw when they looked at Sapphire.

But besides that, the boys looked at each other in shock and then smiled as they ran after their mother not even getting a glance.

When they reached the other side. They saw their mother waiting with a warm smile, not caring everyone was off staring at her.

"Mom! How's that work!?" Percy asked excitedly as he ran up to his mother grabbing the hand she offered for him to hold.

"Magic." She said simply and vaguely making Percy pout, and Harry laugh.

"But what spell? Or is it a charm?" Percy asked, showing his ravenclaw, but only if he's really into it. Which he is for this.

"I'm not sure. Maybe you'll learn in Hogwarts." Lily replied to her son, taking Harry's hand and going through the gawking crowd till they were able to get to one of the openings on the train to let them through. Then she bent to her kids with a smile on her face.

Percy and Harry smiled at their mother, one lopsided the other slightly awkward.

Lily started crying then, seeing her boys ready to leave her far to soon, even if they'll be coming back during breaks and such, she would miss them dearly. "Oh Merlin, I'm going to miss you both so much. Tell Snape I miss him too, will you?" She said as she tried to rein her self in.

Percy nodded. "Of course Mom. We'll miss you too." He said hugging his mother tightly, sad to leave too but he was excited to see what Hogwarts would be like, and excited to be away from his mother's overbearing nature towards him.

Harry did the same after Percy let go. Hugging his mother close to him. "Like Percy said Mum, we'll be fine, you'll see." Harry soothed his crying mother.

Lily sighed as she took a breath in and smiled at her boys. "I love you both so much." She said shakily as she looked in both their bright green eyes, yet always in a different shade. "Always so much."

That's when Percy and Harry couldn't help but start their own water works. "We love you to, always." They said in sync before hugging their mother again.

They stayed like that only for a moment as the whistle blew and the conductor said that the train will be leaving soon.

Lily sighed and pulled away and straighted, then smiled at her boys. Ruffling their already messy hair in familiar routine. "Be safe. I'll see you guys for Christmas." She said kissing their foreheads softly.

The boys nodded, said goodbye once more and and quickly bordered the train, ready to go to Hogwarts.

They found a compartment and waved to their mother ecstaticly. She laughed and waved back before saying she was leaving to go shopping by pointing towards the exit.

The boys understood and just started talking to each other till the door opened and a shy looking Hermione was there with a sheepish smile.

"Hi guys, you don't mind if I sit with you all do you?" She asked, holding a orange tabby cat.

The cat made Percy look to a sleeping Sapphire in her cage. He opened it, letting her know she could come out when she woke. "Of course Hermione." He said happily after doing that.

Harry nodded as well.

Then as the train started moving they all couldn't help but smile to each other. Knowing they were on to their first year at Hogwarts.
